Once again, the Super Bowl is coming up! The games taking place tomorrow are those that will determine the teams competing in the Super Bowl and I am actually a little bit invested. I know that we don't know the outcome of these games yet, but I wanted to get the ball rolling and see who everyone's ...

Happy Birthday, Arianna! I hope your day is filled with magic, wonder, and lots of cake!

I adore reading about (and seeing pictures!) of peoples' pets. It's not only a fantastic icebreaker (because who doesn't love talking about their pets?) but just hearing people talk about a pet they love is such a heartwarming experience. I had a few childhood pets, but I hadn't had a pet of my own ...

I think that if I were to leave anything for someone 100 years from now, I'd probably leave photos. If it was a time capsule based where I'm living currently, I'd maybe leave a photo of everyone who lives here, a well-loved cat toy, and maybe a note that discusses how the closet door has to be pushe...

Like Celeste I am a fan of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp . I think it's a nice way to spend some free time and it doesn't give me any real stresses because there's no timed component (unless I'm trying to catch fish for the fishing tourney and they're about to reset). Lately I've also been enjoying G...

Hello, I'm Aurelia West! I'm a fifth year Slytherin who has been around intermittently since 2011. IRL, I just graduated from university with two bachelor's degrees and now teach dance along with working on dance related projects here and there, though admittedly much less this year. I have one cat ...

Bambi was one of my favorite movies to watch growing up, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys it!

Reviving this topic since the third movie has been out for a bit! Feel free to leave any thoughts and comments below and remember to put any spoiler-y thoughts in the spoiler tags!

- earn 10 quills
- earn 3000+ points
- complete at least 6 OWLs
- submit to 2 house newspapers
- teach or assist at least one class

I'm definitely a fan, but lately I've been falling behind since I haven't had time to go see the most recent movies. I think that this summer would be a wonderful time to do a catch up like Shiloh mentioned!

Happy Birthday, Arielle!!

Happy Birthday, Zenix!! I hope it's wonderful and full of fun and cake!

Happy Birthday, Hannah! Hope you had a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Alexander! I hope you have a fantastic day!

How do you all find new books to read? Usually I just go to libraries and pick up whatever stands out to me, but lately I've been trying to keep up with a few book awards such as the Man Booker Prize and the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction. I've got at least half of the books from the longlist of...

Happy Birthday, Asky! I hope it's a wonderful day!
